Abstract:
Using data from PISA 2006, we examine the performance of immigrant students in
different international educational environments. Our results show that immigrant gaps –
differences in scores with respect to natives - are smaller where educational systems are more
flexible and students’ mobility between courses and school curricula is higher. Unlike previous
studies, our analysis reveals no direct relation between these gaps and the schooling models, be they
comprehensive or tracking, adopted by countries.
